END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
(Freelancers/Contractors)

READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE BARCLAYS FMS PLATFORM.

Introduction

This End User License Agreement (EULA) is a legally binding agreement that governs your use of the Customer-branded RSR web-based software platform (Customer FMS) and any related documentation (Documentation). RSR, including Customer FMS, is owned, operated and maintained by Randstad Sourceright EMEA B.V., Diemermere 25, TC-1112 Diemen, Netherlands, a member of the Randstad Organisation (Licensor). By clicking “Accept” or otherwise proceeding to access Customer FMS, you agree that your access and use of Customer FMS will be governed by the terms of this EULA. Licensor reserves the right to modify, to amend or to redraft this EULA at any time in its sole discretion.

Customer FMS facilitates the matching of clients needing services with contractors who offer services. Licensor does not itself act as an intermediary for any negotiations or agreements between clients and freelancers/contractors. The particular Customer FMS instance of RSR to which you will have access hereunder relates solely to positions and projects at Barclays (Barclays PLC) (Customer). Any engagement by Customer for your services is the subject of a separate agreement or agreements between Customer and you (or among Customer, you and a third party) and will not involve Licensor.

Use of Customer FMS for Customer Positions

Customer has engaged Randstad Organisation to act as managed service provider (MSP) to coordinate and administer Customer's use of flexible labour. In connection with these MSP services, Randstad Organisation will be using a third-party vendor management system (VMS).

Customer regularly enters open contract opportunities into the VMS (Contract Opportunities). Certain of these Contract Opportunities will then flow from the VMS into the Customer FMS platform. When you enter Customer FMS, you will have the opportunity to browse the Contract Opportunities that are made available to you. You will then be able to apply for positions for which you have both interest and the required qualifications. Randstad Organisation will perform vetting and allocation of all applications, and may decide to pass your application along to Customer.

Contracting and commercial conditions

You will not be charged an entrance fee for the use of the Customer FMS.

As noted above, if your application is selected by Customer to fulfil an Contract Opportunity, you will not be engaged by Customer, MSP or Licensor. Rather, in most cases you will be engaged by a member of the Randstad Organisation within Customer's flexible labour program (Broker). The commercial terms and conditions of your engagement will be the subject of a separate agreement between you and the Broker.

Note if you are an independent contractor, however, that before such engagement can be finalised certain control measures will be required to ensure that the performance of the work by you as an independent contractor will be completed in a sufficiently independent way.

Note if you are an applicant searching for an employment status, however, that before such engagement can be finalised certain control measures will be required to ensure that the performance of the work by you will be completed in a legally compliant way.

If you are pre-selected by Customer and pass the required control measures, you will be invited to offer Randstad Organisation your Freelancer fee (per hour/ lump sum). Based on your offered amount, Randstad Organisation will agree with you on a final fee that you will be allowed to invoice to Randstad Organisation. This final fee will take into account a markup percentage that Randstad Organisation and Customer have agreed upon.

Licensor hereby grants you a personal, temporary, revocable, royalty-free, nonexclusive, nonsub-licensable and non-transferable license to use Customer FMS and the Documentation solely in connection with your potential engagement to fill Customer's Contract Opportunities, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this EULA.
